Upon Aitken's birth in Lausanne, US President Richard Nixon sent flowers to her mother Lolitza. His security team and the Swiss police used the delivery to practice the emergency protocol for escorting an injured Head of State to the hospital, closing roads for the delivery. In 2010, she became a Sikh. Her primary reason for becoming Sikh, she was quoted saying: 'It is the only worship where I have seen Jains, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians together. The poetry of Sikhism shares words with Muslims and Hindus in praise.' After becoming a Sikh, Aitken adopted the name of Uttrang Kaur Khalsa as part of her religion. Khalsa translates as 'pure'. As a writer, Aitken has had articles published in The Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail and Tatler. As a musician, she plays the harp and has played in the world air guitar championships.
